Treatment of the Group.

There are two varieties of this disease so
dreaded by mothers. membraneous and
spasmodic Group. The first is comparatively
rare and if the child RECEIVERS it seldom has
another attack The second is more common,
and recurs at intervals in children who are
subject TO it.
Memhraneous Group often begins with the
symptoms Of bad cold. The child is fever
ish, thirsty and hoarse. The throat is sore,
and the fever constantly increases. There is
hard cough and great difficulty IN breath
ing.
The first requisite in nursing this disease is
not to allow the temperature of the room to
fall below 20 degeees. The air of the cham
Der must be kept warm and moist II there
is a fire kettle of water can boil over it; if
not, the water in the kettle must be boiled by
a spirit lamp. Some physicians recommend
the inhaling Of steam from pouring boiling
water on unslacked lime.
In severe cases blanket tent is made by
stretching blanket over the upper part Of
the bed, and raising it by means of chairs, so
as TO form an Enclosure. Then the spout Of
the tea kettle, in which there is water boil
ing, is slipped under one corner OF the
blanket, so that the tent may be filed with
steam and the little sufferer can breathe In a
warm, moist atmosphere. II lime is used I'M

Getting q Homestead.

The ultimate aim, to be kept constantly in
view by both husband and wife, is the attain
ment of homestead, and the conversion Of
that home into a highly attractive locality
externally and internally, physically, socially
and morally, into a home of delight for
parents. children and relatives.
By what means is this to be effected
Chiefly by the united effort Of husband and
wife to bear and forbear, when they differ and
feel inclined to he has;y; by the constant exer-
else of self control of mutual confidence, n full
understanding as TO their pecuniary affairs,
a recognition that each has individual rights,
which need not interfere, and that the exer-
else Of family affection is highly conducive
to happiness Let the children feel that the
parents are their warmest friends; that the
heart, especially Of the mother, is ever open
TO sympathize and advise regarding all trials
and Affections, trivial or important-Richar

Value of Ciyility,

Civility oils the wheels of our domestic
machinery, and American women might
mend their manners as well particularly as
to optional civilities. Optional civility does
not in any way include familiarity Perhaps
it il the best of all safeguards against it,
Well bred women never say anything to hurt
persons feelings. To tell one of the dis
agreeable things said behind ones back Is
neither good taste nor optional civility. II is
rarely caused by excess Of friendship. IT is
more apt to be an expression Of individual
spite 1t is doubtful taste To warn people Of
their faults, 10 comment upon their failures,
to carry them disagreeable tidings under the
name of friendship This is very often
optional incivility. That mysterious thing
within us which we call pride" which is at
once the best and the poorest thing, as we
make it the painted, wooden, three legged
stool Of assumption, or arrogance or impolite
ness or tic noble theme of self respect and
dignity, is hut another form Of temper II is
part of our moral climate. and may make us
noble and agreeable or absurd and detestable,
as we all are proud.-Mrs. John Sherwood in
New York World.

In giving q warm bath, a bath tub nearly
dled with water, at a temperature directed
by the doctor, should be placed at the side OF
the bed, the night dress removed and the little
patient, wrapped in a small blanket, gently
placed in it. Hot water must be added as the
water grows colder, as necessary, and when
the bath is over, the hot wet blanket must be
unfolded and the child lifted out into a warm,
dry one and rubbed with warm towels
If the feet only are to be bathed, the child
need not be taken out Of bed Place q small
tub of water ON the bed with rubber sheet
or thickly folded blanket under it, draw the
childs knees up, and, moving the tub into
convenient position, put the feet In it, the
child lying on its back.
When there is much restleSSneSs the poor
little sufferer can be held in the arms, if
warmly wrapped in flannel, and rocked and
soothed as much as possible. The strength
must be sustained by the strongest liquid
food, beef juice, milk and white Of eggs, the
whites of three eggs in a pint Of milk well
shaken together, or a raw egg beaten very
light with little sugar. The treatment pre-
scribed must be faithfully carried out, or it
will be unavailing.
Spasmodic Group is a much less dangerous
form, and is seldom fatal It is hereditary in
some families, and the victims are delicate,
nervous children. Those subject to it should
be guarded from exposure, and their diet
regulated to keep the digestive organs in a
healthy condition. When there is a croupy
cough they should not be allowed to go out of
doors.
In the beginning of an attack an emetic
often gives relief. Syrup of ipecac may be
used. cloth wrung out with hot water,
sprinkled with turpentine and bound on the
throat is beneficial If there is much smart
ing when the turpentine is removed cover the
place with a soft linen rag Tricky spread
with corn starch
The symptoms soon yield to treatment: but
the child should be kept in the house for a
few days, and watched to prevent the return
of an attack. 1t is not infectious, as mem
braneous Group is thought to be. When a
child dies Of the latter disease no other child
should be allowed to come near it, and the
rooms where it has been i'll must be carefully
disinfected. Elizabeth Robinson Scovil in

A HiDdOO Woman's Home.

Now for an idea of Hindoo woman's home
life. The floor and walls are of clay, with no
Ornamentation Of any sort and the least fur
niture possible. Every morning she has to
pray-not for herself, as she is taught that
she has no soul-but for her husband, for rain
and for general blessings. Then she spends
two or three hours preparing breakfast. She
doesn't eat with her husband, but, perhaps,
fans him at his request During the daytime
she either sleeps, gossips with the other
women, or sometimes reader reads to them
from the lives of the gods. These stories are
unfit for human ears; they are vile from be-
ginning to end. The children and women are
taught them. AT night they prepare their
husbands meal in the same manner. They
are not protected against the weather and
dampness, nor are they properly fed and
clothed The rich live the same as the poor
If sick they are deemed cursed by the gods
and are taken to the stable and left alone
the only food they can get is left by stealth.
Thousands die of neglect
The first day that a Hindoo boy abuses his
mother is festal occasion with his father,
who boasts of it to his friends To be a widow
is the sum of unhappiness. She is especially
cursed by the gods As the husband dies,
udO d uoZeu DdTDefS wives TuSn upon ueT
and tear the jewelry from her ears and nose.
Behind the funeral cortege she follows, sur
rounded by these fiends, who throw her into
the water. If she browns they say she was a
good wife after all. "She has gone to meet
her husband" She is kept in darkened
room for fourteen days. At the end of that
time her husbands ashes are taken to the
river, and. after a peculiar ceremony Of
prayers, the soul is supposed to be free. 1t

A Cause Of Heartaches.

'Your hush and is always talking with Miss
So and So" says a feather headed woman,
whose mental horizon is limited to person.
alities and gossip. There is sufficient truth in
this statement to sail it, and away it goes
down the wind like n winning yacht on the
home stretch. By and by somebody's heart
will ache just because fool took occasion to
bawl a harmless fact into the ears of other
fools, whose hearts are evil enough to color
everything in the world with their own i'm
purity. Many person will shudder at the
bare thought of slip in etiquette, but every
day, by simply repeating facts which do not
concern them and telling truths without
knowledge of the circumstances, which always
color truths, they are rendering themselves
more obnoxious than any ignorance of the
formal usages of good society could ever
make them. A liar is about the meanest crea-
ton Of Satan. but there is something meaner,
and that is man or a woman who goes about
telling distorted truths in a way that shall
injure regulations or cause heartaches -
